Dynamic development along the West Fork Trinity River
West Fork Trinity River snakes around the northern portion of Fort Worth, and in one of the bends is a small yet complex neighborhood by the name of the River District. In the mid-to-late 20th century, housing was sparse in the area, and it wasn’t considered a formed community. However, its desirable location at the riverside attracted new development around 2017 and residential building took off, with it rapidly evolving every year since. “If you’re looking for a scenic, convenient neighborhood with the easiest access to the Trinity Trails, you’ve found it with the River District,” says native Texan Ashton Theiss, broker and founder of The Ashton Agency. “The intimate feel of the area, access to the trails and great local businesses are all so easy to fall in love with.” With a wide range of architectural styles and periods, the River District is just under 5 miles from downtown Fort Worth, sidestepping the busiest portions of the city.
Older homes and new construction can both be found in River District.

Midcentury homes and riverside customs in the River District
The River District’s many different housing types and architectural styles draw in a wide variety of renters and homebuyers. Midcentury ranch homes and bungalows have stayed standing and well-maintained, and sell at the lower end of the budget, usually between $300,000 to $400,000. “There’s two gated single-family neighborhoods that offer direct trail access, new construction townhomes and active senior living,” Theiss says, emphasizing the diversity of housing. “Prices for homes in the River District range from about $300,000 to $3 million, so there are options at almost all budgets.” Modern townhomes and single-family properties that aren’t on the river can range between $500,000 and $900,000. Meanwhile, large custom homes that sit directly at the riverside can sell anywhere between $1 and $3 million.
Many homes in River District have been renovated with a modern style.

Shopping along Alta Mere Drive
Just a mile and a half down Alta Mere Drive are errand stops such as Target, Walmart and Aldi. River District is relatively small, only covering around 300 acres, making its local restaurants easily accessible for residents who want to walk or bike over. Heim Barbecue on the River is a mom-and-pop joint offering slow-cooked barbecue sourced from local farmers while Salsa Limón has some of the most flavorful tacos in the area.

Hitting the 100 miles of Trinity Trail
Looping around the neighborhood are the paved pathways of Trinity Trails, a system of over 100 miles of greenway that winds through Fort Worth. It follows along the West Fork Trinity River, so residents can have scenic views when they go for a jog or bike ride. “There are hardly any neighborhoods in Fort Worth that have direct access to the trails, but in River District, you truly can jump on and jump off in several different sports. It’s one of the most unique factors,” Theiss says. There are a few pocket green spaces within a mile radius of the neighborhood, including Melva Campbell Park, which features an elaborate playground and pickleball courts.

Navigating Fort Worth via Interstate 30
Commuters will find convenience in being less than five miles from both Interstate 30 and Jacksboro Highway, and downtown Fort Worth is around a 10-minute drive away. There are several bus stops along River Oaks Boulevard, operated by Trinity Metro. "It feels like a small suburban area, but it's so close to downtown," says Jessica Buchanan, a Realtor with All City Real Estate who specializes in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. "You can have the suburban lifestyle but with downtown flair."
Homes along Trinity River enjoy easy access to the river's trails.
